10 Best Sci-Fi Movies to Stream Right Now (April 2025)

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is the best of the modern Star Wars films, even though its throwback aesthetic is more in line with the original film from 1977. This is perhaps the first true war story to unfold on the big screen in the Star Wars universe, and it’s not afraid to show the consequences of that conflict.

Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) is broken out of an Imperial prison camp by the Rebel Alliance because her father, Galen (Mads Mikkelsen), has been instrumental in building the Empire’s super weapon, the Death Star. Under the supervision of Cassian Andor (Diego Luna)and his droid K-2S0 (Alan Tudyk), Jyn is meant to reunite with her former guardian, Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), and receive a message from Galen. But once Jyn and her allies experience the terror of the Death Star firsthand, they undertake an even riskier mission to save the galaxy from its power.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is streaming on Disney+.
